Website Accessibility is a very current and ever evolving topic. Compliance is becoming legislation rather than a guideline. So how are sectors performing?

Our most recent report isn’t too positive. 12% of the UK Higher Education Sector Websites claim to be WCAG 2.0 AA compliant but less than 1% of pages across the sector adhrere strictly to the W3C standard.

Sitemorse has developed a practical and pragmatic way to deal with any issues that have been highlighted, “Priorities”. Accessibility is one of the key areas that our clients want to make improvements in.

Our Accessibility page makes improving accessibility easier and more manageable. The page now shows how a site is performing regarding accessibility in simple, easy to read graphics. The graphics show how many pages fail accessibility by A, AA & AAA standards. The 10 priorities which Sitemorse amalgamated last year are shown on the page, along with how many corrections are required for each priority. From here, users can drill down further into the priorities to see where the corrections are required. Along with this, there is also a graphic which shows how many pages in percentage terms have priorities that need to be dealt with, giving digital teams an idea of much work they have ahead of them.

The most unique and one of the most useful additions to this page though is the ability to email priorities. Within just the click of a button the priorities can be emailed to anybody regardless of whether they have a Sitemorse log in. The recipient can view and take action on these priorities make improvements faster.
